Thank you for the reply and congratulations on the apparent success AF has had in the US market! One thing I appreciate about certain manufacturers of additives is their chemical analysis of product. I understand that revealing too much may concern manufactures about revealing the "secret formula". Seachem/Aquavitro is a US manufacturer of salts, additives and I'd like to compare their "Fuel" product to the AF brands. here is the contents of Fuel. Can you explain how this compares/differs to AF product (particularly Coral E). Thanks in advance:
four™
fuel™
fuel™ is a comprehensive carbohydrate, vitamin, amino acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and trace element supplement developed to address nutritional requirements commonly associated with corals. fuel™ contains ascorbic acid in a base of chlorella, which contains a rich assortment of amino acids and vitamins. The health benefits of chlorella are widely known and while spirulina, a similar algae, has been regularly used in the industry, aquavitro™ is the first to utilize the vastly superior chlorella. fuel™ is formulated to provide nutrients available from natural tropical reef waters.
Chlorella is a unique algae that grows in fresh water. It is extremely high in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, including the full vitamin-B Complex. It is over-flowing with unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and proteins. There are also vitamins found in Chlorella including: Vitamin C, pro-vitamin A (B-carotene), thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, Vitamin B12, biotin, choline, Vitamin K, lipoic acid, and inositol. Minerals in Chlorella include: phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iodine, magnesium, iron, and copper. It contains a higher level of amino acids than spirulina and is FDA approved for use with ornamental fish.
Directions
Shake well before using. Use one inner capful (7 ml) for every 110 L (30 gallons*) twice a week or as required to maintain coral growth.
Note: each inner cap thread is approximately 2 mL. One full cap is 49 mL.
Refrigerate after opening.
